So, I got bored today, and went out and cleaned up my axles and diffs and painted the Dana 30 red, and the axle tubes black.. (Wish it was a D44)

Our unit has a wide variety, like the 4x4s, Quads, Dirtbikes, Mountain Bikes etc; Personally, I am a 4x4 unit so we travel whatever roads we need to. Sometimes we are assigned to a paved road, and other times we are assigned to roads that are more treacherous or really muddy. But thats what makes it fun.

thanks a lot bro! its well on its way to being the way I want it now! that 3" kit was the biggest hurdle. but yeah i got called out to 2 different searches last week, and one 2 weeks ago. its getting to be busy season since the economy is so bad, people are "exploring their own back yard" instead of taking long trips. and 90% of people lack common sense or the knowledge to be prepared for a chance of getting lost. Personally, i have a couple first aid kits, and a box of drinks and snacks and radios and clothes.

thanks a lot..still workin on the brush guard though lol ! yeah the lift kit and rims/tires were a graduation present from a neighbor who had them on his XJ, but had thrown a rod on our last wheeling trip and decided to give up on his XJ and sell it to take his AMC Rebel project on full time. Saved some cash there so I"m pretty happy!
